Last night shortly after eating Lulu broke out in some hives. We had added a tablespoon of pumpkin to her supper because she had the "squirts". We think she got the squirts because we had increased her food amount so therefore had cut it back.We gave her 1.5 tablets of Benadryl and that seemed to have gotten it under control. She went out to pee at 10 pm before bed and came back into the house and literally exploded with hives right before our eyes (see attached photos). We gave her another dose of 1.5 tablets of Benadryl but it did not seem to work this time. She paced around the house being very itchy then finally fell asleep around midnight. I woke up at 5 am to check on her and her eyes were so swollen it looked like she had gone a round with Mike Tyson and she has red spot on her face. I gave her 2 Benadryl tablets at this time. It is now 9 am and the hives on her body seem to be regressing but not around her eyes.
About two weeks ago Lulu had a break out of smaller hives which we more or less pinpointed back to a new plastic toy (made in china bought at Wal Mart). We used Benadryl that time (after talking to the vet) and about 5 days after we re introduced the same toy and right away she got itchy.
We are at a complete loss this time because nothing has changed other then the added pumpkin.
